NMDA receptor composition differs among anatomically diverse malformations of cortical development.
Altered excitatory synaptic activity is likely a key factor in the neuronal hyperexcitability of developmental cerebral malformations. Using a combined morphologic and molecular approach, we investigated the NMDA receptor and related protein composition in human epileptic patients affected by periventricular nodular heterotopia, subcortical band heterotopia, or focal cortical dysplasia. Our res...
متن کاملAbnormal morphological and functional organization of the hippocampus in a p35 mutant model of cortical dysplasia associated with spontaneous seizures.
Cortical dysplasia is a major cause of intractable epilepsy in children. However, the precise mechanisms linking cortical malformations to epileptogenesis remain elusive. The neuronal-specific activator of cyclin-dependent kinase 5, p35, has been recognized as a key factor in proper neuronal migration in the neocortex. Deletion of p35 leads to severe neocortical lamination defects associated wi...
متن کاملExpression of astrocyte-related receptors in cortical dysplasia with intractable epilepsy.
Epilepsy is one of the major neurologic diseases, and astrocytes play important roles in epileptogenesis. To investigate possible roles of astrocyte-related receptors in patients with intractable epilepsy associated with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) and other conditions, we examined resected epileptic foci from 31 patients, including 23 with FCD type I, IIa, or IIb, 5 with tuberous sclerosis ...
متن کاملNMDA receptor alterations in neurons from pediatric cortical dysplasia tissue.
The subunit composition of glutamate receptors affects their functional properties, and could contribute to abnormal electrophysiology in pediatric cortical dysplasia (CD). We examined electrophysiological responses and subunit assembly of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in acutely dissociated normal-appearing pyramidal and cytomegalic neurons from CD tissue and normal-appearing pyramidal...
متن کاملAssessment of the role of NMDA receptors located in hippocampal CA1 area on the effects of oral morphine dependency on spatial learning and memory in rat
Introduction: It has been reported that oral morphine dependency facilitated formation of spatial learning and memory. In the present study the role of NMDA receptors located in hippocampal CA1 area of morphine dependent rats was studied. Methods: Male rats were divided into 4 groups. Two cannulae were stereotaxically implanted bilaterally into the hippocampal CA1 area. After 5 days recover...
